The book jacket reads, in part, as follows:
"Misreading an order for bridles, a New England farmer sends his four sisters in law as mail order brides to Lickwind, Wyoming. When the four women step off the train, astonishment turns to mayhem as the men of the town suddenly spruce up and make time for courting."
I happened to like the book. It is well written and the stories held my attention. I do not normally sit down and read a book cover to cover in a short amount of time, but I did on this one. It is Christian based, in part, but not overly so. The publishing company is "Heartsong". Hope you'll enjoy it!

Reviewer: T. K. Sutton (Boca Raton, FL) -
I started reading this book and finished it in two days, even with my busy schedule. These stories about how four sisters end up in Wyoming due to a mistake from a newspaper ad are extremely funny and have great insights to how God wants us all to give Him our trust and love throughout all our "trials" in life. Each sister has her own characteristics and ends up finding her perfect male complement in the small Wyoming town of Lickwind. The stories made me want to curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and remember the good old days I had growing up in a small town in Michigan. I definitely recommend this book of treasures. You won't want to put it down until it's done and then you will want it to continue.

The idea of this kind of miscommunication was one of the draws to this book for me. The other was the team of authors involved. I was not disappointed in the least. A very funny and clever concept and the characters are charming. I had trouble putting the book down once I started reading. Very enjoyable indeed.
